What I really hate is accounting ledgers that make me enter things it two places. Geeeze.
The reason email is special is because if that's wrong there's often no good way to fix it (and certainly no way to notify you). Whether that's sufficient motivation is a matter of judgement, but it's clearly different than first name.
When it comes to anti-clipboard, I really hate sites that make you enter your email address twice (Which is retarded anyway; WHY THE FUCK would I not know/check what I am typing?; it's a cleartext field, you might as well have 2 fields for everything up to first name FFS...), then stop you copying emailfield1 to emailfield2. Fortunately, most still let me click and drag from 1 to 2.
